If Apollo 13, with 1960's technology, could have live footage beamed back from the Moon, you'd think this Indian craft (orbiter, craft, lander, or all of the above!) would have a raspberry pi or something that could take some photos and beam back a few hundred KB from the Moon to Earth so we could have picture(s).

What kind of bandwidth was required for that full motion video capture in the 70's? And they had to do that with technology from that era!
And it's not just the bandwidth. We could be patient today, getting something NOT realtime. That full motion video back in the Apollo days was supposedly REAL TIME, which is obviously more difficult to achieve than "send/receive it at a slower rate, and get it whenever".

I mean, come on! It's 2023. I know Apollo 13 was more expensive, but you know what's happened with computer technology during the past 54 years.

You'll have to pardon me, but MY brain doesn't shut off.

Ok, I'll bite --

Why not show SOMETHING REAL -- I don't know, an image taken by the lander, etc.? Why not take pictures of the moon as they approach it?
And you know, back in the day, they used to include disclaimers on-screen when they were broadcasting something non-real. "Dramatization", "Artist's Visualization", "Artist's Concept". Anyone remember that?

This kind of cheesy 1950's quality special effects just makes the WHOLE OPERATION even more suspect. They UNIRONICALLY put this forward without any embarrassment -- so we have to be embarrassed for them.

If they were sarcastic/ironic about it, some would have given them a pass. But when someone is sincere, but embarrassing, THAT is the stuff cringe is made of.

Even if this turns out to be "on purpose fake footage", the shoddiness shows how incompetent they are, and the idea they were able to land a craft on the Moon is a huge joke.

I agree that they didn't land anything on the Moon, obviously. I also agree it's highly suspicious that they don't show real footage.

However, FE Dave was wrong in saying this cartoon is passed off as actual live footage.

It's a "visualization of the lander module"

FE Dave jumped the gun...

Yeah, I figured that, but my point is that it's SO BAD (third grader could do better) that we're supposed to believe that the organization that came up with such a quality simulation could actually put anything on the moon?

Yeah, an iPhone 6 (I believe they're on like 13 or 14 now) had 120,000,000 times the processing power than what the Apollo 11 "computers" had.

Put simply, the iPhone 6's clock is 32,600 times faster than the best Apollo era computers and could perform instructions 120,000,000 times faster. You wouldn't be wrong in saying an iPhone could be used to guide 120,000,000 Apollo-era spacecraft to the moon, all at the same time.

Except you would be wrong, because the Apollo 11 computers didn't guide anything anywhere.
